That's pretty cool. Not as good as the Haka (or Ha'a) but the Iceland one is easy to learn.

Practice report: Still no Kalil, Rhodes or Floyd for Vikings. Sam Bradford jumped in huddle to start team drills
Ben Goessling ‏@GoesslingESPN 2
If Kalil couldn't go, I'd expect Clemmings

How does the Haka go?

It's a New Zealand war chant that a lot of the Polynesian football teams have adopted. Lots of cool videos on YouTube. More of a team thing than a crowd thing though.

Mike Zimmer on injured starters Rhodes, Kalil, Floyd: “I see a possibility that they all might be able to play on Sunday We’ll see tomorrow"

Never thought I'd want Kalil playing so much, but after last week, I really do. Clemmings make me a little sick to my stomach starting against the Packers.

We will need a 100% healthy Rhodes. That would be a big plus.

Im over Floyd. Hes been a big disappointment to me.

Clemmings would be a disaster. I'd be shocked if Rhodes plays. Floyd is a stud when healthy. Easily top-10 at his position.

Th problem is he can't stay healthy. I don't know if he's a top 10 tackle or not but he's good. Hopefully, once he gets back on the field this season, he'll stay there.

Not sure where to post this since the Bradford thread got shut down, but this was a pretty fascinating read:

The Vikings have ruled out DT Sharrif Floyd (knee) and CB Xavier Rhodes (knee) for Week 2 versus Green Bay.

Asked whether he was surprised Floyd is missing time again on Friday, coach Mike Zimmer replied "I'm kind of used to it." Floyd and Rhodes' absences are a big blow to Minnesota's pass defense ahead of Sunday's clash with Aaron Rodgers.

If the stadium can "get" this together it's going to be amazing.

Everson Griffen was fined $18,231 for his late shove on Marcus Mariota, which negated a Harrison Smith interception. #Vikings
That's BS for that little shove! There certainly was no intent to hurt him.
Roger is ruining the game.
